This brick contemporary in South Natick has been turned into a showpiece home with more than $220,000 in upgrades to all areas of the property.
Located in the Sanctuary Estates, a 57-home subdivision development of high-end single-family homes abutting conservation land, the five-bedroom house on an acre of land at 15 Harvest Moon Lane is on the market for $1,149,000. Since buying the home in 2007, the current owners have done a high-end build-out of the basement that includes a home theater, billiards room, sauna and large built-in bar.
The red brick and beige clapboard house, built in 1999, has 5,390 square feet of living space, an attached three-car garage and a nicely landscaped front yard with a curving brick walk.
There's a double-height entry foyer off of which all the oak-floored first-floor living spaces flow. To the left is a recessed-lit living room with lots of windows, whose focal point is an updated gas fireplace surrounded by stone. There's also new custom moulding and a sound system. Pocket doors lead to a formal dining room with chair-rail wainscoting and dentil crown moulding.
The adjacent kitchen has a new oak floor, cherrywood cabinets, black granite counters, an island with pendant lighting and a built-in bar with glass cabinets. High-end appliances include a DCS gas stove, a cabinet-enclosed Sub Zero refrigerator and Kitchen Aid dishwasher. There's a dining area with glass doors leading out to a large rear deck.
The owners widened the entrance to an adjacent family room, installed wood columns, updated a fireplace to gas and added an integrated sound system.
Off a hallway from this room is a laundry room, a renovated half bath with beadboard wainscoting, and a direct entrance to a three-car garage with newly built-in storage space.
A turning staircase leads to the second floor, with a half landing opening into a sunny home office/study area.
There are four bedrooms on the second floor, off an oak hallway overlooking the foyer. At one end, the oak-floored master bedroom suite features high ceilings, a large walk-in closet with built-in shelving, a private deck and a beige ceramic tile master bathroom with a raised whirlpool tub and glass-enclosed steam shower.
A bedroom on the opposite side of the house also has a large walk-in closet and an en-suite ceramic tile bathroom with a one-piece Fiberglas shower. In between are two other good-sized bedrooms with built-in closet shelving, and there's a third full ceramic-tile bathroom across the hall.
The current owners have completely built out the home's basement, with cherrywood floors in front of a large built-in bar with Blue Pearl granite countertops. There's a cherry-floored billiards room and a carpeted playroom with custom built-in cabinets. There's a full ceramic-tile bathroom and a wood-lined sauna.
A home theater with raised leather seats and projector TV is negotiable with the owners.
The home has gas-fired heating and central air-conditioning systems, and the owners have added an instant-on tankless water-heating system.
